The Metric System is a universal measurement
system based on the number 10. The main categories of
measurement are: meter, liter, and gram. The meter is a
distance value, the liter refers to the volume, and the gram is a
mass value. Using the value (meter, liter, or gram) as the
center, they can be subdivided into smaller units by using one of the
six prefixes placed before them (see the table below). If one wants
to change a higher value into a smaller one, move the decimal point
to the right. If
one wants to change a smaller value to a larger one move the decimal
point to the
left.
